Am home. Have been at Methodist and Rusk since about 9:30 Wednesday morning, as Soren asked me to stay overnight. Will not discuss Methodist's final shots yet, but sexism and stupidity still run rampant there.
By contrast, Rusk evidently full of courteous people who do not shout, do not order Soren to "be a man" when he's crying in frustration and pain, and who speak to both of us simultaneously as adults. Have spent a good two hours with three of his doctors, and have a lot of information.
Soren has also received another CAT scan, ultrasounds, and chest X-rays. He has a blood clot in his right leg (unsurprising) and will get an IVC filter tomorrow morning. He's not thrilled, but is willing. Rusk intends to work him hard: at least three full hours of physical, occupational, and speech therapy five days a week, plus other therapy as needed/desired.
He has asked to have the television turned on, so I've paid for a month of TV time. The History Channel seems to be what he wants. He's wearing his glasses again, and responding enthusiastically to conversations, and has decided that he doesn't like Percoset: it makes him too woogly.
Velma fried. Sleep now.
